1950s Era Roquefort Olives

     We just prepared a 1950s themed dinner and, of course it began with an appetizer course. Bite-sized tidbits were all the rage back then -- olives, pickles or a few crunchy veggies were typical offerings on a “proper” cocktail tray. These “dressed up” olives were made from a 50s era recipe.
